Course Description
In this course you will learn tips and tricks to increase your productivity and double your coding speed with Visual Studio!
Throughout the course, in the bottom right part of the screen you will be able to see my keyboard at all times and see exactly what and how I am pressing when I show you shortcuts or tricks. So not only am I going to explain them to you, you will actually be able to see exactly what I am doing. Since my keyboard is RGB, whenever I press a key it will light up and you will see exactly what is going on!
Over 60 shortcuts and tips compiled in a PDF cheatsheet that you can download, print and have it by your side at all times to quickly find a shortcut that you are not yet used to use.
Before you proceed, I want you to have the right expectations from the course! The course will not magically transform you in a speed coding guru! You have to practice and implement the shortcuts that you feel would be helpful to you into your coding habits (this is where the cheatsheet comes into play). Only then the full effect of the discussed material will be allowed to shine and increase your productivity and speed.
The course is aimed at students that want to get more familiar with the Visual Studio Software and/or want to become more productive and write code faster.
The only coding in the course is when we create our snippets (which is done in XML and thats extremely easy!), so even coding beginners will manage to complete the course!
The topics that we are covering are:
- Navigating and Selecting - you will learn various ways and shortcuts that will help you quickly navigate through your code in your current file, find code in other files, select portions of code quickly and so much more
- Code Editing - different ways to efficiently cut or copy your code, undo mistakes, correctly format the spacings in your code (automatically), quickly rename a variable with just 2 clicks and more
- Different Ways to Comment Code - you will learn a cool trick to turn on/off parts of your code with comments or alternate between two versions of code, with just 1 click
- Managing Your Workspace - distraction free mode, multiple coding windows and more
- Debugging Efficiently - correctly run your code without the need of "Console.ReadLine();" at the end to hold the Console window, debug your code efficiently with breakpoints and their special derivatives like Conditional Breakpoints and Actions Breakpoints
- Snippets - this is the one single thing that will let you highly customize Visual Studio to your specific needs and marginally increase your productivity and speed
- Stylecop - a tool developed by Microsoft for developers to easily check your code for any styling mistakes, increases the quality of your code
For me the highlight of the course is the Snippets section, as this is one of the things that let you highly customize your coding experience and tailor it to your specific needs.
There are tons and tons of tutorials on Youtube and other websites, so why would you have to pay for this course?
The answer is very simple, in this course you will get every single lecture systemized in such way, that it ensures smooth transition between the previous and the following topic. Guaranteeing great learning experience.
There are no stones left unturned, everything is explained in great detail (but not too much, that would be boring :) )
The video lectures in the course are produced with the highest possible audio and video quality. No static noises to disturb you while you watch the videos, no blurry images, everything is crystal clear with crisp audio!

Tod Vachev
I have graduated at Technical University of Varna as a Robotics Engineer. With several years of experience as a Passionate Developer and Engineer, I am now an Online Entrepreneur. Teaching is one of my passions, and what better and more impactful way to teach, than to do it online with thousands of students?
Currently focusing on providing quality education to tens of thousands of students across the globe, on subjects including:
- Programming, focusing on the C# Programming Language
- MATLAB, because this is a scientific tool that no scientist can do without
- Running Online Businesses that Earn Passive Income
For the past four years I have focused on the above and I have never stepped into the 9 to 5 world, I have worked in a company only once in my entire life and it lasted only 2 months. That's when I realized that, I can't learn the things that I want and I can't buy the things that I want buy working for someone else. You should start working for yourself aswell!
It does not matter if you want to become a developer or to run niche sites around the web, you can do both of these things in your own time as a freelancer or a business owner. And I can teach you how to do both of these things.

This is not that much clear for me that tutor is not giving any Handson session for me to practice during the session so I couldn't be able to get the things properly.

A must have course for every Visual Studio user. The lecturer, Tod Vachev, explains every topic in a simple manner and demonstrates everything. I have printed the "Shortcuts and productivity tips" document created by Tod and I use it a lot. Thank you Tod for your great course

Good, most of the things are borrowed from my these articles https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/visual-studio-keyboard-shortcut https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/visual-studio-productivity-tips

okk
By Troy Silkwood on 8/15/2020
Great course, but for some reason, some of the videos ran at a very low resolution which made the code in Visual Studio blurry, and difficult to read.

This course was amazing.

Yes it was good

Faily standard shortcuts. Nothing special but a decent overview
By Richard Harris on 5/5/2020
I learned some useful VisualStudio tricks I've already started using and, as a C++ programmer, saw a bit of C#
